Liability of an Insurance Company

viii you oblige me by answering the following
question; \ man nsures his house furniture He
neglects to pay his premium, and two months
pass and the house burns without the premium
ever having been paid. Now, what I want to
know is, Whether he can collect the insurance by
paying his premium after the fire, JOHN Roe.
When an insurance company insures prop
erty and delivers the policy without collect
ing the premium at the time OF delivery it
virtually gives the insured credit for the
amount The policy is thus as good in case
of fire as If the premium had been paid. The
company can only avoid this by serving a
written notice on the insured that the policy
Is void for non payment of premium In case
of fire it is liable for the loss less the amount
of the premium

some capitalists. Further, that he was not
